Hi,
My current website has Flash-based galleries created in LR using SlideShowPro. I want to create an alternate web gallery for viewing on the iPad and iPhone. Can someone here recommend a LR web gallery plug-in for this purpose? If possible, I'd like the gallery to work the way the iPhone Camera Roll works, but at very least, I'd like viewers to be able to simply flick their way through the images. (SlideShowPro Director does this, but I'm not quite ready to take on its complexity.)
I found a pretty nice solution here:

Any other suggestions?
Thanks very much.

This is my favorite, called "Photoswipe" from The Turning Gate:

I encourage you to browse the other plugins that this outfit produces/incorporates. There's a brand new one developed in coordination with the creators of "Juicebox", which is the latest and greatest web gallery utilizing HTML 5. Both Photoswipe and the JuiceBox will display beautifully on any device (IOS devices, androids, etc.)
Someone else just asked this and I answered. You can use the hard drive publish service to push photos into a gallery that synchronizes with iTunes. It works really well.

I use the hard drive publish service to create galleries for my iPad. I setup iTunes to sync photos from a particular folder, and then setup Lightroom to publish to that folder. Each time I want to create a new gallery for my iPad, I just create a new published folder and drop the photos into that folder. Then I publish the photos. The publish feature allows me to update photos in collections easily, as well as setup specific sizes for export to my iPad.
I have also used published smart collections for my portfolio images. When I tag a photo with a particular gallery keyword, it gets added to the collection. I then just publish the photos in the service and I've got them on my ipad. It works really well!
Setup a hard drive publish service
Back at the Library module you should now find your new publish service. Create a gallery.
All you need to do now is to sync the photos on your ipad using iTunes.

Thanks, Gadget....
Actually, what I need is a web gallery viewable on the Internet in Safari on an iPad or iPhone. Your solution is terrific, and I will definitely keep track of it for the future, but it's not what I need right now.
I think the LR plug-in that I referred to in my original post is going to work for me. I just have to figure out some CSS modifications to make it match my main site. TTG gallery would work too.

As the original poster, I thought I'd follow-up to say I've had very good results with the LR plug-in I mentioned in the first post:

I had to tweak the HTML a little bit, but it really worked perfectly as-is. If you are interested, here's the link, although going to my regular site on a mobile device should redirect automatically: www.johnblaustein.com/mobile.
I'm sure there are other good mobile solutions, but this one meets my current needs.
